Asma can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $2,300.

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Asma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Asma desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Asma worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
With deep gratitude,
Asma
